/ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST N, 1y2v Fine For Skin Exposed to Sun or Flying Dirt face needs special care and atte®tion. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best over- come by the application of pure mercol- ized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the complexion beauti- fully white and spotiess. Reddened, tan- ned, freckled or roughened cuticle is actually absorbed by it. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, is sufficient to completely renovate a soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on over night, and washed off in the morning. Fine lines and even the deeper ;Vrl‘nkle’: often ar at this season.

LOCAL POLICE CAN ARREST PROHIBITION LAW VIOLATORS The matter of the local police authori- ties prosecuting cases of illegal sale of liquor was definitely decided by United States Attorney Edward L. Smith in a letter to Mayor Newton C. Brainard of Hartford on Tuesday. A Hartford paper had recently represented Mayor Brain- ard 'as believing that city police had ne avtherity to make arrests of vielators of the national prohibition act. This helief apparently has been gen- eral throughout the state but Attorney Smith in his letter quotes the following as_his 14ading of the law: Under Title IT of Section 2 of the na- tional prohibition aet, investigation and prosecution under the act is in the hands of the federal government. This does not and never has prevented the palice of any city from arresting any person actively engaged in the sale of intoxicat- ing liquor contrary to the law, and such arrests have been made many times in this state. TUpon the arrest, the federal agents are informed thereof, and the person arrested is taken forthwith en a federal warrant out of the hands of the state authorities. Not only have the state officers power to arrest, but they have power to act as committing officers, preliminary to trial in the United States court, where the prosecution is under- taken and. final judgment entered. Under Section 1014 ef the Revised Statutes of the United States, the powers of state officials are carefully set forth as follows: For any crime or offense against the TUnited States, the offender may, by any Justice or judge of the United States, by any judge of the supreme or superior court, chief or first judge of eommon pleas, mayor of a city, justice of the peace or other magistrate of any state where he may be found, and agreeably to the usual mode of process against offen- ders in each state, and at the expense of the United States. MAY ¥ORM A ZONTA CLUB IN THIS CITY It is possible that a movement will soon be started for the erganization in Norwich of what is known as a Zonta club, an organization for business Avo- men similar in plan to the Rotary club.

Cran- dall, secretary of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, is taking an active inter- est" in the proposed movement. 0dd Fellows Plan Plenle.

Belgium is planning to electrify all its railroads. When Folks Quit Coffee CIGARMAKERS MAY ASK INCREASE | ATTENTION That the cigarmakers employed by lo- cal cigar manufacturers will demand an | the employes kept on at the rate they are |- increase in wages withoin the next few days is the rumor that has reached the ears of the manufacturers, although no definite demand has yet been, presented. If this demand is made it will make the fifth increz ¢ isked since the war started. The last increase in wages was granted and went into effect on the 5th of last April. v It is understood the cigarmakers will ask an increase of §2 per thousand on mold made cigars and $3 per thousand on hand made cigars. This increase, if granted by the manufaeturers, will mean that all lecal cigars that have been sell- ing for 3 and 9 cents will go to 10 cents. Not enly will the manufacturer have to pay for the inerease of production but will have to pay a government tax of $3 extra because of the advance in price. The tax paid to the government now is $6 per thousand, and if the raise in wages forces the price up inte another class the tax will be $9. Several local cigarmakers would give out no information as to their intended demand but would only smile and say “prehaps.” The manufacturers are up in B arms and one stated last evening that if going he would have to elose up shop or else give the shop to his employes and work for them in order to make any money. The wage seale now paid, seeording to a manufacturer, enables the employe to make anywhere from $28 to $55 per week, depending upon how fast the em- ploye wants to work. The scale as it stands is such that if a man wants to make more money he ean without mueh exertion. The ameunt of money he makes lies entirely with himself, said the manufacturer. Local manufacturers are of the opinion that the public will not stand for anether increase in the price of cigars and that they will take up maehine made brands rather than pay the high price for a loeal cigar that only a few years ago seld for 5 cents. The local manufacturers think that if the price is raised again both the manufacturers and the employes will suf- fer, for the demand will not be as great It is understood that a eonference be- tween the cigarmakers and the manufac- turers will be held teday at which de- mands will be presented and the differ- ences talked over. . FOEMER GROTON MAN ' ' ALLEGED DRAFT EVADER Leuis Cohen, formerly employed at the Croton Iron works, the first draft evader to be arrested of the list submitted to the department of justice in the Connecticut ¢ etrict, was arresetd in Brooklyn, N.

It has veen feund that he had no wife dependent on him at the time of the filing of the elaim. The federal agents traced Cohen from Chestnut Hill to New York, then to Gro- ton, where he had been employed in *he Greton Iron works, where he liied 2 claim for compensation under the state compen- setion laws for injuries received in the course of his work. 1{ was because of these injiries taat he wae later exempted from military service but the perjury alleged by the government was eommitted before this time. From Groton, Cohen returned to New York, and information as to his move- ments from this state was furnished the New York office of the bureau of invest- gation, with the result that he was ar- rested in Breoklyn Monday afternoon. in of FORD UPSETS WHEN IT HIT NORWICH CAR Jacob Gallup of Laurel Hill Road re- Center Tuesday his into by a Ford five men.

House- holders and physiciane can greatly assist health officers in Connecticut in eom- bating whooping cough by reporting ail cases at once to them. ‘Whooping cough is being reported increasing numbers from many commu itles throughout Conneeticut. / = This dis- vear was responsible for meore deaths than measles or searlet fever and near- ly as many as diphtheria.

He was brought to this counsry nis par- ents when he was 8 years old, and lo- cated- in Cincinnati, O. As a boy, the stage had a keen appeal and fascination or young O'Neill, and about the first work he did was in a theater. Although his education had been somewhat limit- ed his alert and active mind absorbed everything theatrical, with the resuit that he soon secured the opportunity he sought of joining the stage. The op- portunity came one night in 1867 when a well-known actor, finding himself minus one of his players, asked young O'Neill if he knew the lines. The pros- pective actor.quickly assured the mana- Y that Mr. L: heaith O'Neill anl 1o ger that he did, and he Wwas pressed into service. Needless to say, young O'Neill not only knew his lines, but he displayed his latent histrionic ability. That was the beginning of the career of one of America's foremost actors, and it has been one of the most brilfant in the history of the American stage. Mr. O'Neill made his first regular ap- pearance o the stage at the National theater, Cincinnati, in 1368. The fol- lowing year he joined, Bob. Miles' com- pany. During the mext three seasons he was leading man with the Ford company of Baltimore; the John Ellsler company of Cleveland and the McVicker stock compnay of Chicago. For the following two years he toured California and the next three seasons he appeared with the Union Square company in New York. From 1877 to 1880 he appeared in San Francisco. It was during his appearanece on the coast that Mr. O'Neill made his unusual attempt to impersonate Christ in the Passion Play, produced in 1880 in San Francisco where he was then a popu- lar player. The effort Was frowned upon by the authorities, despite the fer- vor and reverence with which Mr. O'Neill essayed the part, and after running for a few weeks it had to be withdrawn. Later, an attempt was made by Henry E. Abbey to produce .the Passion Play in New -York with Mr. O'Neill in the leading rele, but it was prevented by the authorities. e ‘While in New York_in 1875 Mr. O'Neill played Pierre in The Two Orphans; the Prince in The Danicheffs and Jean Re- naud in A Celebrated Case. For more than 15 years and in more than 6,000 performances, James O'Neill played the part of Edmond Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo, until his name became so associated With - that play that in the minds of drama lovers to mention one was to suggest the other.
